Todays tasks: Researching, Planning and preparing ahead so I can work without interruption when the temperatures are back over 15°C.

And well there is this large european boating retailer who had nice guides for their products. Had - because now they are very sloppy and stupid. My trust in them went instantly below zero.

While removing the tiller for the winter Dev & I found a cut in the backstay wiring....  

List of boat to-do's just keeps getting longer.

Every year, thus far, there's an issue with our marine diesel engine that I have to troubleshoot. This year's issue was a raw water pump leak, but not just any kind, water was coming out of the weeping hole, indicating that the pump shaft seal was bad.

Getting the shaft out of the body of the pump was effing hard, I had to borrow tools to do it. After prying it apart, I thought that I could just take the seal out and replace it and that'd be it, but then I saw that the shaft was kinda scarred, and one of the bearings looked like shit >_>... aaaand I somehow broke a circlip and now 1/2 of it is stuck in the body of the pump(improvised a tool to get it out, that was a BAD idea...).

I was not expecting to have to rebuild this damn thing. Never. Effing. Easy.

@bee Yep, most boat people rely on Facebook. My partner & I are always a bit out of the loop since we too don't use it, and refuse to use apps in general :P.
The only boat-related hashtag i use on Fedi is #theboatyard for boat projects.
Can point you to more boat people, but depends if you strictly prefer houseboat stuff (i know more sailboat/motor boat people).
